Denver police said Sunday that officers were working a new shooting case in the city, separate from an earlier incident reported near 17th Street and Glenarm Place in the downtown core. The department has not released any information on possible victims, injuries, or arrests and said more details would come later. Officials also urged residents to reserve emergency lines for urgent situations.
In a brief post on X, the Denver Police Department stressed that the incident is separate from the 17th and Glenarm shooting and said there were "no updates at this time." The department added a reminder that its social media accounts are not monitored around the clock and directed residents to Denver's police non-emergency line for tips that do not require 911. The City of Denver lists the police non-emergency number as 720-913-2000 on its official site.
What We Know About The Location
Denver police did not disclose where the new shooting occurred, only that it is distinct from the earlier downtown incident at 17th Street and Glenarm Place. That 17th & Glenarm stop sits on the 16th Street Mall in the Central Business District, according to the Denver Metro Transit stop profile, and the corridor has been a recurring focus of local reporting on downtown safety and efforts to bring more people back to the area. The Denver Gazette has recent background on those revitalization pushes and the realities on the ground.
Local outlets and community social feeds have tracked multiple violent incidents on and near the 16th Street Mall in recent months, a pattern that has brought a heavier police presence to some of the busiest downtown blocks. A rolling list of crime reports documents similar downtown incidents and follow-up police responses, as per Hoodline.
Anyone who witnessed the latest incident or captured video has been asked to contact Denver police. As the department noted in its X post, tips can go to the non-emergency line unless there is an immediate threat to life or safety, in which case 911 should be used. For reference, the police non-emergency number, listed by the City of Denver, is 720-913-2000. The story will be updated as authorities release more information.
